One must study in a Buddhist institute to become a true monk, which is known as renunciation. This block of houses built next to the Buddhist Academy are the last accommodations where generations of monks stay before they become true monks! A monk is leaving his last home in the world of common people and making his way to the Holy Land to become a true monk!

I graduated from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts , majoring in Art. With the passion and persistence to the art of painting, I persist in further exploration and study on traditional Chinese painting and woodcut prints. In recent years, I have tried to create some works with obvious personal style by combining the compositions of Chinese painting and the textures of printmaking with my photographic tactile. So I called my first photography collection Tactile.
